Author Bio

Kathy Herman is a best-selling suspense novelist who worked for the Christian Booksellers Association in Colorado Springs, then married a retailer and moved to Texas, where she worked in the family’s Christian bookstore. She has written fourteen novels, including CBA bestsellers Tested by Fire and All Things Hidden, since retiring from the retail business. Kathy and her husband, Paul, have three grown children and five grandchildren and live in Tyler, Texas.

A dangerous gamble... A terrible secret... A deadly choice... Kathy Herman has written a suspense filled novel about the life of Police chief Brill Jessup and her family. This book primarily focuses on Brill's daughter, Vanessa, and the continued story from the previous book. I enjoyed the twisting and turning plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters and their stories are intriguing and lovable and the book is a good mix of romance, suspense, and mystery, with a sprinkling of faith. I personally feel that this book is okay for an older teen to read. There were a few weak points in this book in my personal opinion, but nothing that would make me say to not read it.
